“Green Lantern” is a year away from release, but Warner Bros. already is starting development on a sequel. The studio has hired Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, all of whom worked on the “Lantern” screenplay, to write a treatment for the second installment.

The trio has also been tapped to pen the treatment for the silver-screen incarnation of “The Flash.”

The “Flash” film will take inspiration from [writer Geoff] Johns’ recent work and will feature the Barry Allen incarnation of the character.

Update on DC movies. Among the more interesting nuggets are some of the other JUSTICE LEAGUE pantheon that are currently being developed – Flash, Green Arrow, and Aquaman. Also a ‘Teen Titans’ movie!

This past fall, Warners quietly hired three of DC’s biggest writers — Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison and Marv Wolfman — to act as consultants and writers for its superhero line of movies. The move involved taking back the reins on projects being handled by such producers as Charles Roven (“The Flash”) and Akiva Goldsman (“Teen Titans”).

Marv Wolfman is most likely overseeing the Teen Titans (although that is not confirmed in the article). His JUDAS CONTRACT Teen Titan storyline was my introduction to the series back in the day and some damn good reading.

There are no details as to what DC scribe whiz-kid Grant Morrison, might be involved with but this is the one we here at THRALL WORLD will be keeping an ear out for that bit of information as it is one of the more interesting reveals.

Also: A BATMAN sequel seems likely with Nolan returning once he has finished ‘INCEPTION’ but this is not really adding anything to recent gossip.

But a new SUPERMAN sequel? Oddly enough the most iconic of DC characters and the superhero that started it all seems the most questionable with the copyright set to change hands back to the original creators heirs in the next couple of years. Everything involving Superman including whether or not the character will even stay at DC appears up in the air. A sequel before then seems very unlikely in our humble opinion.
